The top-end Galaxy S20 also introduces a 100x zoom camera.</p><p>The firm also confirmed a new foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip. It uses "folding glass" in its display and small fibres in its hinge to protect itself from damage.</p><p>Several rivals plan their own handset launches over the coming weeks.</p><p>But the spread of the coronavirus poses a threat to production.</p><p>"The virus is going to affect the supply chain," said Ben Wood from the consultancy CCS Insight.</p><div id="bbccom_mpu_1_2_3" class="bbccom_slot mpu-ad" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="bbccom_advert"> <script type="text/javascript"> /**/ (function() { if (window.bbcdotcom && bbcdotcom.adverts && bbcdotcom.adverts.slotAsync) { bbcdotcom.adverts.slotAsync('mpu', [1,2,3]); } })(); /**/ </script> </div> </div><p>"Although Samsung has diversified its manufacturing into places way beyond China, there will still be components in these phones sourced from China."</p><p>Many factories in the country have delayed re-opening after its New Year break because of fears the virus could spread in the workplace.

It has three rear cameras: a 64-megapixel telephoto lens, a 12MP wide and a 12MP ultra-wide. It starts at $999/拢799</li> <li class="story-body__list-item">the S20+ has a 6.7in (17cm) display. It adds a depth sensor to the basic model's array. It starts at $1,199/拢999</li> <li class="story-body__list-item">the S20 Ultra has a 6.9in (17.5cm) display. Its telephoto lens is only 48MP, but the wide-angle lens is bumped up to 108MP. It starts at $1,399/拢1,199</li> </ul><p>The S20 Ultra's camera module is thicker than that of the others to incorporate a periscope. This uses a prism to reflect light into the device's interior, allowing the wide-angle option to feature a longer lens and bigger sensor.</p><p>Although it is possible to take 108MP shots, owners are expected to let the phone automatically merge groups of nine pixels into one most of the time. This aids low-light photography.</p><p>The 100x "super-resolution zoom" facility uses the lower-resolution 48MP camera. Machine-learning techniques stitch together pixels from up to 20 different frames to achieve a better result than would be possible via a simple digital zoom.</p><figure class="media-landscape has-caption full-width"> <span class="image-and-copyright-container"> <div class="js-delayed-image-load" data-alt="Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20200212140454oe_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/320/cpsprodpb/14E0C/production/_110861558_6a9fa299-dc42-4fd9-950c-3a74237e7b27.jpg" data-width="976" data-height="549"></div> <span class="off-screen">Image copyright</span> <span class="story-image-copyright">Samsung</span> </span> <figcaption class="media-caption"> <span class="off-screen">Image caption</span> <span class="media-caption__text"> The S20 Ultra uses a prism to get light to its largest sensor </span> </figcaption> </figure><p>It allows Samsung to boast double the zoom range of Huawei's competing P30 handset, although one expert questioned how usable it was in practice.</p><p>"The 100x zoom ends up with a quite blurred image, so I don't think people will turn to it that often", commented Mr Jeronimo.</p><p>"But it should have a wow factor when shown off in stores. And at 20x to 30x you can get a good photo."</p><p>The phones also introduce Single Take mode.
